More Info - Proverb Card Game

Play the game by dealing out five cards to each player and using a pick up and discard method to find pairs of cards (shown on the How to play card) or spread the cards out to find a pair or play snap.

Everyone loves proverbs! But can you remember all of those well known ones? Now you will always have them to hand plus a fun game to help you to learn them.

Find the proverbs e.g. Make hay while the sun shines. Don't count your chickens until they're hatched. The early bird catches the worm.

Most of all just have fun with these colourful, high quality cards and if you are looking for an accessory to the game look at our range of booklets to accompany the series (e.g. A Guide to Proverbs) which include the list of pairs from the cards plus an extra 25 more pairs of words.
